Answer:

D

Explanation:

If you look at the right side of each piecewise function, you will see the x-values. That is what we will be focusing on in this explanation. All four equations have x > 4, and we know that to be true. If you look at the equation on the graph going South West, you will see that the endpoint is at x=1. Only 1 equation, D, has this in the piecewise function. To confirm it is D, you can see that 1<x<4 is also in the piecewise function, and all the values line up with their corresponding y-values.

Hope this helps! :)
